And your youtube vids crash your computer? What happens? Does your browser freeze? Does anything else crash with the browser? etc etc.

It causes my wireless to disconnect, and it doesn't reconnect until I switch the card off and then back on. This isn't just a Youtube problem thoug, it seems to be Flash in general that does this - though higher res flash videos seem to do it faster, for some reason.

I initially assumed it was my wireless card. Now I'm running a Windows driver for my wireless card through ndiswrapper and have cofirmed it's working correctly. Now I'm worried that it's something more... bothersome, like Flash itself.

Wow that's really interesting... What if say... instead of loading a flash video, you're downloading a file? Sometimes if you're using a lot of bandwidth ISP's will cut you off briefly. This happens to me sometimes when I torrent, and i have to disconnect and reconnect. Though it sounds like you get cut off after a few seconds, whereas for me it's on the order of 5-10 minutes.

Nope. I download updates and torrents at the same speed as before, once they've gotten going. There's just a latency in getting them going in the first place, and I can't play flash videos.

And this flash is the same flash you installed from the package manager? Adobe flash nonfree or something like that?
